The Replies (slight return)

 
 
 

I'm sorry I can't put a name to any of these.  But I don't want any naughty
people sending E-mail to someone they don't know.

And I'm sorry about the ones I choose.  Just 'cos your reply isn't up here
doesn't mean your not funny, or something, ummm, yeah.
 

*******Some of them are a bit rude*******

(do I seem a bit over protective to you?)

Here they are then....

If you were one of my students, I'd forgive you and applaud your initiative - great website,
especially on a cold Tuesday evening. Best of luck finding the job you will no doubt need by next week...

**

And if Cheltenham try to get rid of you, we'll mobilise the whole of the country's students.
Well, the two who could be bothered to get up early enough to get the bus down there!

**

I enjoyed the message - now I'm enjoying the saga.  Hope it turns out ok...

**

ya poor sod. you lightened up my monday

**

Did you manage to get unsubscribed from the Fiver?  I wonder....

**

I've just had a fucking good chuckle at your website.  You must still feel a complete twat though.

**

(not quite so sure why everyone seems to hate the fiver though, what did they expect, pithy
Nick Hornby serialisations or something?)  Good luck with the college authorities
(you're hardly Gary Glitter are you!)

I'm an American.  I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the ABUSIVE replies.  I  guess the internet is
just catchin' on with some folks over there, huh??  don't they understand that like 90% of all
the internet bandwith is porn and vulgarity??

               anyways.  i was originally going to reply to you (a supportive one), but i figured you were
going to get back about 100 replies....... nice to see i was about as far off as a Paul Ince Penalty Shot.

**

This could be the start of something big. Smash the state (or at least dent it a little...)!

**

oh and by the way

               FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK
               OOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**

I deleted the e-mail straight away on Monday morning, knowing it was just a genuine mistake.
I am kinda upset that I don't have it anymore, now that the shit has hit the fan (can I say 'shit'?).
               Could you tell me to Fuck off again please?

**

You have made a young man very happy...  And to all you bandwagon jumpers,
I have copies or the original e-mail, for sale, at a reasonable price.

**

If I didn't already have a wonderful loving partner I would suggest we go out for a drink.

[sorry, I only put this one up here 'cos I'm not getting any - Lee]

**

Haven't laughed so much for ages.  I've alerted Football 365 in case they have missed the events
at their poor relation (the.fiver) so be prepared for interviews and everything.
You're a media star - mark my words!

**

I just think its funny you go to Cheltenham College.

**

If the college authorities fail to see the funny side, drop me a line and I'll write them a nasty solicitor's
letter if you want.

**

I suggest you have stumbled across the beginnings of a lucrative career - why stop at the fiver?
- continue by going round other newsletter mediums also telling the subscribers
to "fuck off" or whatever is requested.  You can charge what you think is a reasonable fee.
Just think of the spin offs - chat shows, opening Supermarkets, bit parts in movies yes LEE you
are rapidly heading for the need of an agent and loads of infamy and dosh.  The world is your oyster.
And the Guardian - think of the publicity they may even sell more copies perhaps even breaking the 1,000 per day barrier for the first time.  The power of the internet grabs its first victims

**

Your message amused me - I understand the sentiment very well. Unfortunately, your attempt to
unsubscribe has left you as the most famous Fiver subscriber ever - you'll probably be getting
it for ages, even if it's not from the Guardian (have they stopped yet?)

**

hey put my reply on your site please

**

Hahahahaha! You're gonna get expelled! HAHAHAHA! That's two years of your life-WASTED.
Now you'll leave college without any qualifications and will probably end up as a tramp!
HAHAHAHA. And guess what! U can't even swear or take the piss back outta me
coz you'll get yourself in more trouble. Oh Yeah! I know all that about
"getting irritated by the fiver" and "a moment of madness" is all crap.
You knew what you were doing when you did it and now you are lying
to cover up your tracks.  HAHAHAHAHA

**

How surreal is this - you're now getting emails about emails about a crappy mistaken email.

I got the original, and now famous email, and read about it in a subsequent fiver (today's in fact) and
checked out the website.  I have to say it's one of the best laughs I've had in ages.

However I too have had problems with their mailing list, having been magically crossed off
it three times and had to resubscribe because I liked it.

Envious eh?

**

Good luck. If you get really stuck maybe we could arrange some sort of internet Lee Aid event.
Or maybe the Grauniad might give you a job!
